If you're referring to acquiring data from these platforms, we're investigating other sources for quality data. Ideally we would like to create a data import routine for MT4 which should cover all supporting brokers such as ThinkForex.

Regards.

In that case please include FXCM. I have the Historical Data Downloader from FXCM. It allows downloading Tick data from the FXCM live feed. It would be great to finally be able the back test on tick data of my own broker and than to compare the BT with the real results of the same day.

Yes, tick data is indeed supported by SC, not only 1 minute. Please head over to the Bid/Ask/BidVolume/AskVolume format example. Header is either optional or required depending on the format chosen. Better include one in all cases
